Speakers don't "pull" power, if that's what you're getting at.

In order for a speak to sound its best it needs to have power. Those speakers have a fairly high RMS and I would assume the sensitivity is low, so if you where to power them off the deck it wont sound very good. The deck doesn't push enough power to make those sound good.

The deck doesn't push enough power to make ANYTHING sound good....

I was just asking why he thought it wasn't a great idea. It's not going to hurt anything, is what i was trying to get at.

Just tried to mount a set of kickers in my friends trac yesterday...
TOTAL HEADACHE! were going to have to grind the doors down to make room for the speakers even after cutting the plastic up and resoldering the connectors to longer wires.

They don't pull power, but they do have a power rating. if you put speakers that are higher rated than the amp, and then crank up the gains to try and make em loud, not only can you blow the amp, but the distortion from the gains being cranked up will make them sound like shit.
